Differences Between The North And South
What would make the U.S. Turn on each other and enter battle? I think they turned on each other because of slavery. I think that all people should be treated the same no matter what color their skin is.

The north has no slaves at all but the still don't treat the African Americans poorly. There are many major cities here but they are all crowded and and dirty. There are warm summers and snowy cold winters with a short growing season. The forest is used to build ships which is very helpful since most of the cities are built on coastlines. The rivers here are not easy to navigate they are very fast and shallow. The terrain is not good for farming it is Rocky and hilly. Here they have discovered how to use waterfalls for energy. It is a good place to be there are many factories so it is easy to get a job. They also have public education and it worked out well and

Also they both have political parties. The states in the north and the south are made up of immigrant from many different countries. They also treated the African Americans poorly free or not free.

The north unlike the south didn't believe in slavery they thought people who work hard should work for the money, but the south took advantage of the slaves and worked them for free. There were not many schools in the south and the ones there were were unorganized, but in the north there were many schools and they were very organized. In the north people lived on farms and there weren't many big cities, unlike the north where there ribs of bug cities and people live in those big cities and there weren't very many farms.

What would make the United States of America turn in each other?The main reason was because slavery the north didn't believe in having people work for free, but the south did. Everybody should be treated the same like human being not animals whatever skin color they

    The major difference between north and south was on the ideal of slavery (free labor vs. slave labor). Most slaves on the south worked for land-cultivating cotton; tobacco, sugar, and rice because southern economy mainly depended on agriculture.

    The economy of the South depended primarily on slaves. Its settlers had plantations of cotton, which was very profitable at that time, but they needed a cheap labour force to work their lands (slaves). Living in the South meant either having a lot of money to invest on lands (for crop plantations) or working in the only available jobs, which were done by slaves. Since not everyone was able to afford high amounts of money or willing to do slave work, many decided to migrate to the North so as to find job opportunities there. These facts lead to differences in terms of population: the North grew much faster than the South. Besides, black population was concentrated in the South for its economy depended on black slaves.…

    Because of this the system wasn’t the same like in the north. Slaves were also treated much more ruthless in the south. There was a much better living standard in the north because the slaves were not as important to farming. Even though there were slaves women were still at the bottom of the social ladder. Women had a tough life during the colonial period.…

They believed that slavery was a sin and that God did not want this. They looked to the bible where God communicated with Moses and showed him how to break the bonds of slavery from Egypt and led his followers to the promise land. The abolitionists had many outspoken men that were preaching how wrong slavery was, but…

    Blacks in the north had few rights. Some say that they were treated the same as blacks in the south. Not true, in the north blacks were not slaves. Northern blacks almost had it worse. They could not be socially accepted in the world that they were considered "free". They worked for a living and learned the hard way that they could not support themselves. Blacks in the north were never truly free until Martin Luther King Jr. gave blacks freedom. Although blacks were not enslaved in the north, they still were not…

    The North was less suited to plantations, and therefore benefitted less to slavery. The North was primarily industrial, with very limited need for slave labour. On top of this, the North developed more new technologies and resources that made labour work easier, and in some cases replaced the need for labourers. This further reduced the need and reliance on slaves. Without this agricultural, and therefore economical, reliance on slaves, the people of the North would be more open to ending slavery.…

    American is a nation with few years of existence but with as much conflict within its borders as compared to other countries in the world. America’s founding and growth to power was done with the intent of white dominance, never intending for those who did much of the labor that kept the economy afloat-the enslaved black people. America’s hierarchy of blacks having nothing and no chance to become anything more was shaken with the Emancipation Proclamation and ensuing 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which intended for blacks and other minorities to have the same rights as their white counterparts who had held all the power. Resentment grew from the former slave states as the people they formerly owned began to get involved in politics and better…
